A scribbled column laments a missing Herald on Wednesday night. It critiques delays in Mayor Bigins inquiry and questions the City Attorney’s duty in defending alleged lewd conduct within the city. The writer notes space limits and praises communications left out for lack of room.
The passage speaks of the setback of sorrow foretold to women in childbirth yet notes a mother’s joy when holding her baby. It warns of danger in the path of pregnancy and urges avoidance to reach the hour of realization with vigor and strength.
The Daily Times defends an editorial on Cordele reports, saying it used information from reputable citizens and denied it was infamous. The piece criticizes the paper for sensational headlines and invites a public clash with the town's leading citizens, quoting a line from Shakespeare.
The letter from B F Strozier of Cordele, Georgia, denounces a newspaper article titled Who is Guilty as a malicious lie. Strozier, attorney for W E Smith, says the jury demand was Smiths legal right and not a confession of guilt. He disputes the timing and motives behind the public dispute and notes local support for his stance.
An intense exchange follows a Progressive editorial captioned Who is Guilty. Mayor Bivins defends officials, promises a swift inquiry, and faces questions over city crime, housing rents, and alleged favoritism toward Vienna.
A heated letter accuses Cordele's Mayor of tolerating a bawdy house near a national institution and accepting bribes through a "salary" to Smith. It questions why nothing was done, cites a cider sale charge, and asks who the city’s enemies are.
